Some would say that Yom Kippur is not for children, but I would disagree. There are many lessons children can learn from all that we do in preparation for Yom Kippur as well as on the day itself.
You could explain that another name for Yom Kippur is the Shabbat of Shabbats. It is even held holier than a typical Shabbat for on this day we have a heightened Shabbat experience.
We light candles, change our shoes, fast, pray, and hear the shofar.
There are some great stories too!
